P h ? ? ( Things are yet a long ways from 0 nonnal following the war. p o p This is a curious old world we live n in and the ways of some things are past finding out. f, o 1, It is hard to believe, but nc.ver theless tine that you will find mean- t ncss in this world where you should r least suspect it. s o s We have almost banished the mos- s quito from Conway, and you sec that c chills and fever have diminished at ^ the same time. a p It is impossible to find out tho { motives of some men. They cannot r tell themselves what they are after nor the reason for their actions. ? o 1: While the farms of the county are { improving from year to year, Conway a is growing as a town. We are mak- ( ing progress as time goes along and j that is what we. want to do. 1 o J No matter how severe the. penalty f is for violating the laws against in- ?: * ? t i ii - i i .. i* loxicating annas, mere are plenty mi , men who will brave the law and lo- t cate a still almost in sight of a pub- t lie road. i o ( Horry County has recorded more land deals during the last month than < were ever transacted before in the . same, length of time; and the indi- ? cations are that land trades will con- < tinuc at a greater rate for some time to come. o While population increases, the amount' of land to the individual decreases, and this is what make?s the value of land increase from year to year. While men increase as time goes on, there is no more land being made. ??o Some farmers lost heavily on tobacco this year. They give vai ious reasons for failure; but no matter what they say about it to explain their loss, we know that the most of it is due to their lack of knowledge and their failure to give it attention when it needed it. e Tho best section of public road in the county is the part of the road that has been finished under government supervision extending from near Conway toward Homcwood. What a pleasure it is to ride on this smooth hard surface* This shows what is needed all over this county and we must never cease our efforts until we get what we need and want. o Education is a great aid to a man or woman either where they have the seeds of ambition in them and want to succeed. Where the boy or girl seems to be perverted from the beginning to ways of idleness and meanness, education sometimes appears to do more harm tha 1 good. rONS OF APPLES, GO INTO APPLE BUTTER /Von Praise at Army Hospital and How This Was Done rHREE WHOLE TONS WERE WORKED UP Nothing* Should be Allowed to Go to Waste in Modern Times. ! *!i -. . ,? I "There are grapes and apples gong to waste down here by the cartoad. What can we do to save hem?" This was the message which reach-<1 the home demonstration agep.t iof3lark<* County, Wash.*. over. the. long-* liutance telephone in her office at /ancouver one afternoon in the late all. Home demonstration agonts nakc it their business novor to be stumped," so the reply went back Hold the fort and I'll be down early n the morning to help you lay your dans. I guess the good Lord must ntend that fruit to go to the boys at ho post hospital here in Vancouver, nd between us wo must sec that it caches them." The following day the little town of 'isher was deep in planning. When ho home demonstration agent, who rorlcs under the supervision of the '/nitcd States Department, of Agriulture and the State agricultural ollege, arrived a council of war was old. Tho outcome was that the !range offered to lend its big kitchn for the work, while the Rod Cross romised to supply the. workers and ay for the first 100 pounds of sugar eeded One committee scoured the towr or utensils necessary to make oart ads of grapes and apples into fruit utter and returned triumphant with wo big oil stoves to supplement tho ange at the hall. There were also everal autos loaded with knives, poons, sieves, dishpans, pots, and tone crocks. Meanwhile another ommittee was scouring the Grange litchens, sweeping the (lining rooms, nd spreading down clean papers in ireparation for the grand opening of he Fisher community kitchen the icxt day. Community Kitchen Opens Doors. The next morning it rained a regu3r downpour. But did that delay he opening? It did not. By 8 o'clock i dozen women and three me.n and ho first consignment of fruit were at land. The men kindled the fire, rought in a good supply of water in ni'k cans and started out after more, i uit. Tho women rolled up their ileevos, tied on their big aprons, and >et to work. The home demonstra;ion agent had planned so carefully hat after the first confusion died iway there was only the quiet hum | >f orderly work. Each operation was in charge of I mi i . * . suuau. i no notiost and most responsible position, of course, was that of stirring tho butter- to make sure it lid not burn as it got thicker and thicker and more and more sugary At this nerve-racking job, delegates who had the entire confidence of the assembly took turns, and it was only occasionally that a more worker was able to ddate the nostril of scorn and remark,"I smell your jam burning." Grape and apple butter made out of Washington's luscious grnpr.s and rich juicy apples, the kind the people in the East stop and stare at in the store windows, once tasted is something to remember forever. The grapes were so sweet that by combining them with the apples the demand on the sugar barrel was vary l'ght. At noon the old Grange coffee pot came out and when the men returned wet, but undaunted from gathering the fruit, they all sat down at the long table in regular Grange fashion. | (For seven days this was the program. Even on Sunday the kitchen I wax worked to its full capacity for no one seemed to think it was breaking i tho Sabbath to save that fruit for the boys at the post hospital. Three Tons of Fruit Into Butter. At the end of the seven days a tor of grapes, and two tons of apple? had been rescued and converted into fruit butter for the hospital. Thank>; to tho natural sugar in the Washing, ton cranes. r?n1v 1J5 -- n r-. , ?> * ? |/VUi>MO \M were used for this whole quantity. And what was the. report of the fruit butter made by the boys at the hospital who sampled it ? They said "This certainly tastes like home and we can not afford to die of the *flu if living means such eats as these." TOE HORRY HERALD, CON ~ " ~*~*+ ? The work of the kitchen at Fischer vas so successful that within a week the home demonstration agent was called upon to organize three other kitchens of this type where the same sort of salvage work for fruits could be carried on. Good organization makes these community enterprises successful, and it is not surprising that the women in that community feel that the service of the home dem onstration agent is a worthwhile investment for their country. ADVENTURES" IN SOIL BUILDING Clemson College.?From Andetson County comes the story of two fanners who have made some worthwhile discoveries about cover crops for impoving and enriching their lands. Mr. Wade Drake, one of the best farmers in Anderson, who knew the value of nitrate of soda on crops, found thi* xrr.a v* flint a /ir/\*i nf ni?irviti/i? J Vll?v ? VI \JJL. VAIIIlOVll VIV/f vl preceding com and cotton equals in fertilizing value a good application of nitrate of soda. The discovery of another Anderson fa**mer, Mr. Beaty, is even more definite. In a field where clover had been turned under and the land planted to com 91* acid *l<m? oiv Jt>%U of *u#A on thf> othev half he used the quantity pf acid plus W popflde pf of soda, and yet th^ve was- po, difference . to be seen in thp coi^ in tlvp whole field. Mr. Bc$ty says $hat lie now sees the value of cover crops but that what bothers him is that he waited until his hair was gray before making the discovery in soil building. Both of these fanners are r.ow thoro converts to the cover crop doctrine. Mr. Drake is sowing* 40 acres of crimson clover this fall and is planting vetch and rye in all of the land which is to go in cotton and corn another year. Mr. Beaty is planting 20 acres more in crimson clover an I will harvest sec<l next spring for a still bigger planting next year. But what is more, nearly "evarybody's doin' it" in Anderson now and County Agent C. S. Patrick, is glad. - TOMATOES RACK IN" FAVOR MAKE GOOD PRESERVES Thrifty housekeepers in localities where fruit has been high priced an-1 scarce this summer are turning to their old friend, the tomato, to increaso their preserve supply. Made by the following recipe, which is recommended by the United States Department of Agriculture, tomato preserves are a real delicacy. The pear or cherry varieties of tomato are best for preserves. Other kinds may be used, hut these grow tvisily and abundantly and make a much more attractive preserve. Immerse the ripe tomatoes, a few at a time, in boiling water for a few minutes only. Remove, the skins carefully so as not to break the tomatoes. Weigh them and place them in a preserving kettle with as many pounds of granulated sugar as there arc. tomatoes. Prepare green ginger root by carefully scraping off the skin and shaving the root to small bits. Add one level teaspoon of those ginger shavings to each 2 pounds of tomatoes. I.et the contents of the kettle come Lj a boil for 10 minutes. Remove the tomatoos from the sirup and spread them upon a flat dish to cool. Thh will keep them from coming1 to pieces, When cool, return them to the boiling sirup and boil gently until they arc the desired thickness. Put into jar. while hot, adding a slice of lemon tc each jar before sealing. RUSSIAN REFUGEES IN REGION OF OMSK Vladivostok.?Russian refugees ii the Omsk region live under condition unfit for animals. Large families ar. crowdod into curtained off spaces si: by eight feet in barracks unfit fo habitation. A nurse who has been serving a Omsk writes this graphic description "The plan of the living quarters J like this?there are long narrow plat , forms about eight feet wide stretch ing down the length of the barrack with narrow aisles between and an othoir platform overhead. "The refugees each curtain of > about six feet witli old rags and liv ; in this small space?a family of six c eight sometimes to a space (> by l If they have an unusually largo fan ily sometimes they have the platforr i above as well, but as a rule you hav i one family living* bottomsidc an > another on top.

Practically all of them have had typhus and have never gotten well again. Half have* the scurvy, and some of these arc so saturated with poison in their systems that if ! you poked your finger into them it would make a hole. About every third one has tuberculosis, and some have a combination of all these diseases. And, of course, they are all suffering from malnutrition in some . form or other." r GOLDFINCH-McINVEILL. One of the most interesting events of the early fall was the marriage of Miss Maye Goldfinch, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Goldfinch to Mr. Harry C. Mclnveill, of Hartsvillc, Tuesday evening at six-thirty o'clock, i ,, < r* ... nnr vimwuy lviernonist cnurch. Rev. B. G. Murphy, Pastor of the bride, performed the ceremony. The Church was beautiful in its ( decorations with the white tapers burning on the altar, against a pyramid of ferns and golden rod. The bride's attendants, all of whom wore lovely dresses of yellow draped ? in white, and carried bouquets of ami /erp. . The bridfe* jeisMi*s Sadie GoJdfinch wa* m^bi of v honor, and another sister, Mrs. W? Goldfinch, as dame of honor and her friends Misses Lola Lawrence of Florence, Essie Perham of Green Sea, Donna Coleman and Ella Sessions of Conway, as bride's maii^. The dame of honor .was all in white ami carried a shower bouquet of goldcnrod. The ring was carried in on a silver tray by Master Sidney Goldfinch, little nephew of the bride; the flower girls, little Misses Adclyn and Helen Vernon Goldfinch, nieces of the bride, wore dainty fairy frocks of white [with bows of yellow. The bride, who entered with her j brother, A. E. Goldfinch of Conway, was the picture of girlishness and beauty in her wedding gown of white charmeuse satin made with a court train and beaded in pearls. Her veil was fastened with a wreath of pearls and orange blossoms, and her bouquet was brides roses showered with lil lies. The groom was attended by n 1 O _ / 1 '11 * onnmii oomner, 01 naixsvuie, as ocsi I man and Robert Poe, of Hartsville, Harold Blackwell of Hartsville, Whitcford Sessions and W. 0. Davis, ( of Conway, as groomsmen. Just before the ceremony Miss Law : rence sang "For You Only" by Henry E. Gushe, after which Miss Kathleen Sessions sang "Constancy" by Weber. 1 The wedding music was played uy Mrs. Vivan F. Piatt, a school friend of Miss Goldfinch, who used Lohenjgren's bridal chorus as a processional, j and Mendleson's wedding march as a j recessional. The bride is one of the most popu! lar and best loved girls of Conway, and will be missed by every one as she goes to make her home in Harts ville. Immediately after the ceremony the bridal party returned to the home* of Mr. and Mrs. Goldfinch where light refreshments were sei*ved and the bride changed her wedding 1 costume for a handsome travelling suit of taupe grown. Mr. and Mrs. Mclnveill left in a shower of rice for '' Florence where they caught the train and will spend their honeymoon in ' the Mountains of North Carolina. > .

The guest were r given a paper and asked to write a poem to the bride. These were made t into a brides book and prescntol to : Miss Goldfinch with a request to read * them. Miss Spivey then invited the - guests into the dining room where a - shower of golden rod met the eye; a s delicious salad course was w-rvwl foli. lowed by an ice course.

Scarborough las been to Nichols, S. C., and finds ault with the condition of the iridges on the I'oad from old Bayhor, >. C., to Nichols, S. C. He says ?ridges are in a deporable condilion, ays they are a disgrace to a civilized ommunity and actually dangerous to I ho travellini public, he says the nidges on that piece of road is a rejection on our County as well as a nenace to the travelling public. Now, ome people that have not seen this pad will think that Mr. Scarborough s very severe in his cbndemfl^ti'bn of ho condition of this road^sbut to i hose that ha\e seen and know how it s, know that Fr. Scarborough has >ut it very mildly. Now Mr. Scarjorough don't know which is to blame, -he County Commissioners or the 'toad Overseers. I don't know either, but I do know one crowd that is to tdame, that is the crowd that goes in ;ars at the rate of 50 to 60 miles an lour. I have seen bridges break to ncces when they would hit them. I nave seen the bridge tear up and the planks follow the car clear away Prom the ditch, oftimes broken to pieces, and I know another crowd that is to blame, that is our law makers. Tbey are. to blame for not giving us a 5-mile speed limit over all bjpdges. It will take lumber 3 inches thick andi put down with railroad spikes toj; stand a car going 20 to 30 miles ah hour, 50 to 60 would tear them up. No, Mr. Scarborough hasn't got language sufficient to condemn the bridge-wrecking crowd severe enough. Some cars in the community is a blessing (the Doctors)^ while sornfr ethers is a course of the cussede?t kind. There is a bridge or a ditch, ha? been a bridge, across the public road near my house, bridge now broke into pieces the ditch deep enough to make it extremely dangaroiirt, The Overseer says Uftfit the Supervisor will not furniHh h^^i lumber to make a bridge. When the Overseer, the Supervisor, the Commissioners, the Hoilfcitor and the Judge all shake hands with the name twang the /load i/aw is a farce. ?O. W.
